Remove or Change Post Info or Post Meta

May 25, 2011 By 7 Comments

To remove the post meta, simply use the following code:

// Remove post meta
remove_action('genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta');

To customize the post meta, simply use the following code:

// Customize the post meta function
add_filter('genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter');
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if (!is_page()) {
    $post_meta = '<span class="categories">Filed Under: </span>  ';
    return $post_meta;
}}

To remove the post info, simply use the following code:

// Remove the post info function
remove_action('genesis_before_post_content', 'genesis_post_info');

To Customize the post info, go to my post here How to Edit Author, Date, Time, Comments Link, Tags and Categories (Post Information) in Genesis.

    Hello, nice roundup of CPT Genesis related tutorials.
    I’d like to ask if you have a quick snippet to conditionally replace the post meta in CPTs with their own custom taxonomies; all done via functions.php and not via a custom template.
    Cheers
    Marco

      Hello Marco,

      Here is some ad hoc code that will help get you started without knowing your taxonomies or your custom post types. To customize the post meta, simply use the following code:

      // Customize the post meta function
add_filter('genesis_post_meta', 'post_meta_filter');
function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
if (is_post_type('my_cpt')) {
    //get your terms via get_terms( $taxonomies, $args ); $taxonomies can be an array of taxonomies
    //$myterms = get_terms('my_tax', 'orderby=count&hide_empty=0');
    //$output = '<ul>';
    //foreach ($myterms as $myterm) {
        //$output .= '<li>'.$myterm->name.'</li>';
    //}
    //$output .= '</ul>';
    //$post_meta = '<span class="mytax">Filed Under:'.$output.' </span>';
    return $post_meta;
}}

      For more information, check out the WordPress codex for get_terms.

      I don’t know what to do with this code – I have a custom post template and wanted to display the custom taxonomies. This gives a blank putting it either in the template or functions file.

      To customize the post meta, simply use the following code:

      // Customize the post meta function
      add_filter(‘genesis_post_meta’, ‘post_meta_filter’);
      function post_meta_filter($post_meta) {
      if (!is_page()) {
      $post_meta = ‘Filed Under: ‘;
      return $post_meta;
      }}
